same way as your office computer. You can download your messages and addresses to
this computer before working offline.
1
(Optional) You may want to download your CallPilot messages to the computer
that you will use offline. Log in to your e-mail and CallPilot, and on the Tools
menu, click CallPilot Desktop Messaging, then click Download all CallPilot
Messages. When your messages are downloaded, log out.
2 (Optional) You may want to download the server Address Book to your computer.
See Changing your address book settings, page 17.
3 Open your e-mail while not connected to the network, and wait for the CallPilot
Logon window to appear. You do not need to enter your password.
4 Click Cancel.
You can then work offline, reviewing your messages and recording and addressing new
messages. You must use your computer’s speakers and microphone to play and record
messages offline; you cannot use a telephone for offline access.
CallPilot stores your recorded messages in your Outbox and sends them the next time
you log in to the CallPilot server.
Message security in offline mode
If you share your computer with others, you should password-protect your messages in
Outlook. Since Outlook automatically sends messages stored in the Outbox when you
reconnect to the network, another user who has access to your Outlook profile can
send messages in offline mode that will be transmitted without your knowledge. To
protect your mailbox, assign a password to your Outlook .cst file. For details, refer to the
Desktop Messaging online Help.
